One of the underlying concepts and story arcs of the Alangara PW is the Custom God, Zertihn's strugle to proof to the universe that the mortals holds much more potential than the gods ( and other powers ) realise and accept.
Becoming A Chosen is the second ( volountary ) step on a mortals journey to unleash their true inner potential. This focus on the "strenght of soul and spirit" is also tightly knitted together with the fact that Alangara takes place in sub-parallel universe and a unique plane called "The Inner Realms"...
Characters reaching level 40 Reborn might start over again from level 1 but as a even more powerful divinely blessed "Chosen".
A Chosen receives the following benefits.
Con + 20
+10 to stats divided at their own leisure.
On Dying they have 12% chance of being fully healed instead. ( keeping all their buffs )
At the same time the Chosen cast a Mass heal on their party !
On Death they have 12% chance of being fully healed instead. ( loosing buffs but no death penalties )
At the same time the Chosen cast a Mass heal on their party !
-----------
* ALL XP IS HALF *
Bare in mind that the Chosen is still also Reborn. this means they get BOTH power increases and XP cuts in reality landing them at 0.25% XP.
Also on dying they would first roll their 12% Chosen chance and if failing then their 8% Reborn chance, and if failing those then on death they would again roll both.
